|---|
Brief session background
Food system approaches are increasingly seen as key to identifying new opportunities for enhancing health, environment and enterprise. There is a need for system-wide actions to drive transformation, and focus on reshaping supply chains from farm to fork. These include new models of business-to-business coordination, new diets and consumer choices, and efforts to manage food loss and waste. The session will include presentations from both supply and demand sides and a debate from a panel comprising representatives from the public and private sectors.
